Prominent premaxilla is one of the problems encountered when dealing with bilateral complete cleft lip and palate patients. Secondary alveolar bone grafting with these patients would achieve filling of the osseous defect, supports the alar base, eliminate the oro-nasal fistula and enhance the maxillary instability. This article describes the management of a bilateral cleft lip and palate patient with an extremely protruding premaxilla done in one stage surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first report of such degree of severity in the English literature.

Objective: This study analyzes indications and outcomes of premaxillary setback (PS) and presents an algorithm for its use in patients with bilateral cleft lip and/or palate (BCL ± P).
Design: Retrospective review.
Setting: Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
The present case series aimed to assess non-surgical elongation of the columella and reduction of cleft gaps in patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate using the active nasoalveolar molding (ANAM) device and tissue expansion principles. The study included six complete bilateral cleft patients aged one month: three males and three females. A nasoalveolar molding technique was applied using an active device (ANAM) with a 3D screw, worn by infants for two months.

The paper presented the treatment procedure of a 2-year-old patient with unrepaired bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP). Complicated situation included severely protruded premaxilla and constricted upper dental arch, possibly related to delayed treatment of cleft lip and palate. Orthodontic expansion lasted for 8 months, including using fan-type expander for 3 months.
